The last line in the article says:

"The congressional memo says that the NHTSA bought the gas pedal,
throttle body and two on-board computers from Sikes's Prius for $2,500
and plans to investigate them further."

I wonder why they didn't buy the whole car this time?

i wonder why you've changed from full frontal attack to drip drip drip.
just like the news feeds in the press. could it be because your
political masters are feeling back-lash ahead of the mid-terms?
[rhetorical]

go get yourself an honest job ed. one that doesn't support using
taxpayer dollars to outsource jobs to china.

It was a simple question. NHTSA recently paid way more than top dollar
for a Lexus months (years?) and thousands of miles after a supposed
incident. Now they have a chance to buy a complete working car that
was alleged to run wild literally days after the incident and they
just buy a few parts. Why not sudy this whole car as a complete
system. Do you think NHTSA has the expertise to test the computer
modules outside of the car? I am sure they could look at the throttle
pedal and throttle body and check for mechanical problems, but the
alledged incident would have required more significant failures than
can be attributed to those items.

I have never thought this particular Prius incident was credible. If
you bothered to read what I have said about this before, you'd know
that. I thought it was fishy from day one. But clearly you don't care
what I actually say - you just want to use replies to me as a
launching pad for a bunch of mostly incomprehensible garbage

Enough of this BS. Cite an example of when I have supported using tax
payer dollars to out source jobs to China.

er, every time you post your g.m. astroturf ed. g.m. outsource
component supply to china on a grand scale. each seat, each engine
computer, each instrument cluster, each windshield, each driveshaft,
each brake cylinder and caliper they have made in china is sending
american taxpayer dollars to support chinese jobs. and you are such a
moral bankrupt, you're prepared to take g.m. [taxpayer] dollars to keep
that happening.
